12/1

Below par on all-weather earlier in the year but is on a good mark if reviving after 7 months off. It'll be interesting to see what the betting makes of him.

12/1

Took advantage of a drop in the weights when off the mark for the season at Lingfield (6f, all-weather) in August under a front-running ride. Below par twice since and stamina to prove on a rare outing beyond a sprint trip.

Berning Hot⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: William Carson| T: M J Attwater| OR: 58| CD

4/1

C&D winner in August. Good second on all-weather next time and respectable fifth of 10 back here (good) days ago (would have been a bit closer but for meeting trouble). Likely to go well.

20/1

Long-standing maiden. Sixth of 8 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, good to firm) 33 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Back up in trip. It's likely the wait for a first win will go on.

Forecasts

Rainbow Sign (11/4), Nutcracker (5/1), Berning Hot (11/2), Blue Collar Lad (7/1), Balon D'or (12/1), Noble Guest (14/1), The Organiser (16/1), Rock Master (16/1), Sun Of Dolly (16/1), Who Is Alice (16/1), King David (16/1), Mokata (16/1), Dakota Power (20/1), Music And Song (33/1)

BERNING HOT goes well at this track and might prove the answer to a contest where few arrive with compelling claims. Tom Marquand's mount Nutcracker has a much more solid record than the majority of these and is next on the list ahead of Blue Collar Lad. The returning Dakota Power is one to keep an eye on in the betting.
